GREASE (Frankie Valli)



I saw my problems and I'll see the light

We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right

There ain't no danger we can go too far

We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word



They think our love is just a growin' pain

Why don't they understand? It's just a cryin' shame

Their lips are lyin', only real is real

We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel - grease is the word



Chorus:

(Grease is the word, is the word that you heard)

It's got a groove, it's got a meaning

Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion

Grease is the way we are feeling



We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to yesterday

There is a chance that we can make it so far

We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word



chorus



This is a life of illusion, a life of control

Mixed with confusion - what're we doin' here?



We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to yesterday

There is a chance that we can make it so far

We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word



chorus repeats 2x



(Grease is the word, is the word, is the word...)

SUMMER NIGHTS (John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John & Cast)



Summer lovin' had me a blast - summer lovin', happened so fast

I met a girl crazy for me - I met a boy, cute as can be

Summer days driftin' away, to uh-oh those summer nights



Tell me more, tell me more, did you get very far?

Tell me more, tell me more, like, does he have a car?



She stood by me, she got a cramp - he went by me, got my suit damp

I saved her life, she nearly drowned - he showed up, splashing around

Summer sun, something's begun, but uh-oh those summer nights



Tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight?

Tell me more, tell me more, did she put up a fight?



Took her bowlin' in the Arcade - we went strollin', drank lemonade

We made out under the dock - we stayed up until ten o'clock

Summer thing don't mean a thing, but uh-oh those summer nights



Tell me more, tell me more, that you don't got her preg

Tell me more, tell me more, cause he sounds like a drag



He got friendly, holdin' my hand - well she got friendly, down in the sand

He was sweet, just turned eightteen - well she was good, you know what I mean

Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but uh-oh those summer nights



Tell me more, tell me more, how much dough did he spend?

Tell me more, tell me more, could she get me a friend?



It turned colder, that's where it ends - so I told her we'd still be friends

Then we made our true love vow - wonder what she's doin' now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh, those summer nights



Tell me more, tell me more.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU (Olivia Newton-John)



Guess mine is not the first heart broken, my eyes are not the first to cry

I'm not the first to know, there's just no gettin' over you



Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around and wait for you

But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else for me to do

I'm hopelessly devoted to you



But now there's nowhere to hide, since you pushed my love aside

I'm not in my head, hopelessly devoted to you

Hopelessly devoted to you, hopelessly devoted to you



My head is saying "fool, forget him", my heart is saying "don't let go"

Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do

I'm hopelessly devoted to you



But now there's nowhere to hide, since you pushed my love aside

I'm not in my head, hopelessly devoted to you

Hopelessly devoted to you, hopelessly devoted to you



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT (John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John)



I got chills, they're multiplyin', and I'm losin' control

Cause the power you're supplyin', it's electrifyin'



You better shape up, cause I need a man, and my heart is set on you

You better shape up, you better understand, to my heart I must be true

Nothing left, nothing left for me to do



Chorus:

You're the one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey

The one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey

The one I need (the one I need), oh yes indeed (yes indeed)



If you're filled with affection, 'n you're too shy to convey

Meditate my direction,  feel your way

I better shape up, cause you need a man

I need a man, who can keep me satisfied

I better shape up, if I'm gonna prove

You better prove, that my fate is justified

Are you sure? Yes I'm sure down deep inside



chorus repeats out



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



SANDY (John Travolta)



Stranded at the drive in, branded a fool, what will they say Monday at school?



Sandy, can't you see, I'm in misery

We made a start, now we're apart, there's nothin' left for me

Love has flown all alone, I sit and wonder why-y-y oh why you left me, oh Sandy



Oh Sandy, maybe someday, when highschool is done

Somehow, someway, our two worlds will be one

In heaven forever and ever we will be, oh please say you'll stay, oh Sandy



Sandy my darlin', you hurt me real bad, you know it's true

But baby, you gotta believe me when I say, I'm helpless without you

Love has flown all alone, I sit, I wonder why-y-y oh why you left me, oh Sandy



Sandy, Sandy, why-y-y-y, oh Sandy



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



BEAUTY SCHOOL DROP-OUT (Frankie Avalon)



Your story's sad to tell, a teenage ne'er-do-well

Most mixed up non-delinquent on the block

Your future's so unclear now, what's left of your career now

Can't even get a trade-in on your smile



Beauty school drop-out, no graduation day for you

Beauty school drop-out, missed your midterms and flunked shampoo

Well at least you could have taken time to wash and clean your clothes up

After spending all that dough to have the doctor fix your nose up



Baby get moving (better get moving), why keep your feeble hopes alive

What are you proving (what are you proving)?

You've got the dream, but not the drive

If you go for your diploma, you could join a steno pool

Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to highschool



Beauty school drop-out, hangin' around the corner store

Beauty school drop-out, it's about time you knew the score

Well they couldn't teach you anything, you think you're such a looker

But no customer would go to you, unless she was a hooker



Baby don't sweat it (don't sweat it), you're not cut out to hold the job

Better forget it (forget it), who wants their hair done by a slob

Now your bangs are curled, your lashes twirled, and still the world is cruel

Wipe off that angel face and go back to highschool



Baby don't blow it, don't put my good advice to shame

Baby you know it, even Dear Abby's say the same

Now I've called the shot, get off the pot, I really gotta fly

Gotta be goin' to that maltshop in the sky



Beauty school drop-out, go back to highschool

Beauty school drop-out, go back to highschool

Beauty school drop-out, go back to highschool



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



LOOK AT ME, I'M SANDRA DEE (Stockard Channing)



Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee, lousy with virginity

Won't go to bed till I'm legally wed, I can't, I'm Sandra Dee

Watch it, hey, I'm Doris Day, I was not brought up that way

Won't come across, even Rock Hudson lost his heart to Doris Day



I don't drink or swear, I won't white my hair, I get ill from one cigarette

Keep your filthy paws off my silky drawers.

Would you pull that crap with Annette?



As for you, Troy Donahue, I know what you wanna do

You got your crust, I'm no object of lust, I'm just plain Sandra Dee

Elvis, Elvis, let me be, keep that pelvis far from me

Just keep your cool, now you're starting to drool

Hey, fungu, I'm Sandra Dee



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



GREASED LIGHTNIN' (John Travolta)



Well this car is automatic, it's systematic, it's hydromatic

Why it's a greased lightnin'!



We'll get some overhead lifters, and four barrel pods, oh yeah

Keep talkin', whoah keep talkin'

Fuel injection cut off, and chrome plated rods, oh yeah

I'll get the money, I'll see you get the money

With a four-speed on the floor, we'll be waitin' at the door

You know that ain't shit when we'll be gettin' lots of tit - greased lightnin'



Chorus:

Go, greased lightnin', you're burnin' up the quarter mound

Greased lightnin', go greased lightnin'

Go, greased lightnin', you're crossin' through the hitblast chound

Greased lightnin', go greased lightnin'

You are supreme, the chicks'll cream for greased lightnin'



We'll get some purple pitched tailpipes and thirty inch danes, oh yeah

A palomina dashboard and duel muffin' twins, oh yeah

With my booster plates and shocks, I can get her on my rocks

You know that I ain't braggin', she's a real pusher wagon - greased lightnin'



chorus repeats 2x



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



IT'S RAINING ON PROM NIGHT (Cindy Bullens)



I was deprived of a young girl's dream

By the cruel force of nature from the blue

Instead of a night full of romance supreme

All I got was a running nose and Aegeatic floe



It's raining on prom night, my hair is a mess

It's running all over my taffeta dress

It's wilting the quilting on my maiden form

And mascara flows right down my nose, because of the storm



I don't even have my corsage, oh gee

It fell down a sewer with my sister's ID



Yes, it's raining on prom night, oh my darling, what can I do? I miss you

It's raining rain from the skies

And it's raining real tears from my eyes, over you

Oh dear God, make him feel the same way I do rigt now

Make him want to see me again - oh what can I do



It's raining rain from the skies, it's raining tears from my eyes over you

Raining, ooh tears from my eyes over you

Raining, ooh raining on prom night

Ooh raining, ooh tears from my eyes over you

Ooh raining, ooh raining on prom night...



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



ALONE AT THE DRIVE-IN MOVIE



(Instrumental)



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



BLUE MOON (Sha-Na Na)



Blue moon, you saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own



Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for

You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for



And then suddenly appeared before me, the only one my arms could ever hold

I heard somebody whisper 'please adore me'

But when I looked, that moon had turned to gold - oh oh oh



Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own

Without a love of my own



(Blue moon)



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



ROCK 'N ROLL IS HERE TO STAY (Sha-Na Na)



Rock 'n roll is here to stay, it will never die

It was meant to be that way, though I don't know why

I don't care what people say, rock 'n roll is here to stay

(We don't care what people say, rock 'n roll is here to stay)



Rock 'n roll will always be our ticket to the end

It will go down in history, just you wait, my friend

Rock 'n roll will always be, it'll go down in history

(Rock 'n roll will always be, it'll go down in history)



So come on, everybody rock, everybody rock, everybody rock, everybody rock

Everybody rock

Now everybody rock 'n roll, everybody rock 'n roll, everybody rock 'n roll

Everybody rock 'n roll, everybody rock 'n roll



Rock 'n roll will always be our ticket to the end

It will go down in history, just you wait, my friend

Rock 'n roll will always be, it'll go down in history



If you don't like rock 'n roll, think what you've been missin'

But if you like to bop and strawl, come on down and listen

Let's all start to have a ball, everybody rock 'n roll



Ah, oh baby, ah, oh baby, ah, oh baby, ah, oh baby, rock!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



THOSE MAGIC CHANGES (Sha-Na Na)



What's that playing on the radio, why do I start swaying to and fro

I have never heard that song before, but if I don't hear it anymore

It's still familiar to me, sends a thrill right through me

Cause those chords remind me of the night that I first fell in love to



Those magic changes my heart arranges

A melody that's never the same, a melody that's calling your name

It begs you please, come back to me

Please, return to me, don't go away again, oh make them play again

The music I wanna hear is once again, you whisper in my ear

Oh my darling, aha



I'll be waiting by the radio, you'll come back to me someday, I know

Been so long since our last goodbye, but I'm singin' as I cry

While the bass is sounding, while the drums are pounding

Beatings of my broken heart will rise the first place of the charts



Oh my heart arranges, oh those magic changes, oooh yeah



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



HOUND DOG (Sha-Na Na)



You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time

You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit, and you ain't no friend of mine



They said you were high class, honey that was just a lie

Called you all high class, that was just a lie

You ain't never caught a rabbit, and you ain't no friend of mine



They said you were high class, honey that was just a lie

Called you all high class, that was just a lie

You ain't never caught a rabbit, and you ain't no friend of mine



You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time

You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit, and you ain't no friend of mine



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



BORN TO HAND JIVE (Sha-Na Na)



Before I was born, late one night, my papa said everything's alright

The doctor paid, mama laid down, with a semitone bouncing all around

Cause the beebop stork was about to arrive

Mama gave birth to the hand-jive



I could barely walk when I looked in town, when I was three, I pushed the fly

While jumping would I move my legs, and I saw the dance while I gathered A's

Bowed and clapped, I was only five

And I danced 'em all, he's born to hand-jive



Oh yeah, yeah, yeah - everybody



Born to hand-jive, baby, born to hand-jive, baby - yeah



How low can you go, how low can you go, how low can you go, how low can you go



Higher, higher, higher and higher

Now can you hand-jive, baby, oh can you hand-jive, baby

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, born to hand-jive, oh yeah!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



TEARS ON MY PILLOW (Sha-Na Na)



You don't remember me, but I remember you

't was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you



If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate

I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you, you, you, you



Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy

When you find the one you love, he'll fill your heart with joy



If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate

I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you



No, no no no now, no, no no



(You...)



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



MOONING (Louis St. Louis & Cindy Bullens)



I spend my days just mooning, so sad and blue, so sad and blue

I spend my nights just mooning, all over you (all over who?)



Oh I'm so full of love, as any fool can see

Cause ages up above, have hung the moon on me



(Why must you go) why must I go on mooning, so all alone (so all alone)

There would be no (there would be no) more mooning, if you would call me

(I've found a phone)

I'm lying by myself in bed, I cry and give myself the red eye

Mooning over you



I'll stay behind (you'll stay behind) you mooning forevermore (forevermore)

Someday you'll find (someday we'll find) me mooning at your front door

(at my front door)



Oh, everyday at school I want ya, always will until I got ya

Mooning too (there's a moon up tonight)



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



FREDDY MY LOVE (Cindy Bullens)



Freddy my love, I miss you more than words can say

Freddy my love, please keep in touch while you're away

Hearing from you can make the day so much better

I really flipped over the great cashmere sweater

Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my love



Freddy you know, your absense makes me feel so blue

That's okay though, your presents make me think of you

Mama will have a heart-attack when she catches

Those little bushes with the black leather patches

Oh how I wish I had a jacket that matches, Freddy my love

Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my love



Don't keep your letters from me, I quilt to every line

Your spelling's kinda crummy, but honey so is mine

I treasure every gifty, the ring is really nifty

You say it cost you fifty, so you're drifty, I don't mind



Whoa - Freddy you see, you'll hold me in your arms someday (Freddy my love)

And I will be wearing your lacy lingerie (Freddy I'm yours)

Thinking about it, my heart's pounding already

Knowing when you come home, we're bound to go steady

And through your service pay around my confetti, Freddy my love



Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my love - ooh Freddy

Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my love - ooh Freddy

Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my love - I'm ready

Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my love - ooh Freddy

Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my love...

 (to fade)



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



ROCK 'N ROLL PARTY QUEEN (Louis St. Louis)



Rock 'n roll party 



Little girl, do you know what I mean? Pretty soon, she'll be 17

They tell me her name's Mary-Jean, rock 'n roll party queen



Friday night 'n she's got a date, goin' places just for stayin' out late

Droppin' dimes in the record machine, rock 'n roll party queen



Pa pa pa pa, oh no, can I have a ball tonight?

Baby baby, can I be the one, to love you with all of my might?



She's the girl that all the kids love, they talk about her, wherever she goes

I could write a fan magazine about my rock 'n roll party queen



La la la... rock 'n roll party queen

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, rock 'n roll party queen



Pa pa pa pa, you should see her shake

Baby baby, don't you call it puppy luck, don't you want a true romance?



Rockin' and rollin', little party queen

We're gonna do the strawl, hey party queen

You know I love you so, my party queen

You're my rockin' and my rollin' party queen



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



THERE ARE WORSE THINGS I COULD DO (Stockard Channing)



There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two

Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy and no good

I suppose it could be true, but there are worse things I could do



I could flirt with all the guys, smile at them and bat my eyes

Press against them when we dance, make them think they stand a chance

Then refuse to see it through, that's a thing I'd never do



I could stay home every night, wait around for mr. Right

Take cold showers every day, and throw my life away

On a dream that won't come true



I could hurt someone like me, out of spite or jealousy

I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I can cry

A fact I'll bet you never knew

But to cry in front of you, that's the worst thing I could do



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



LOOK AT ME, I'M SANDRA DEE (REPRISE) (Olivia Newton-John)



Look at me, there has to be something more than what they see

Wholesome and pure, oh so scared and unsure, a poor man's Sandra Dee



Sandy, you must start anew, don't you know what you must do

Hold your head high, take a deep breath and sigh

Goodbye to Sandra Dee



------------------------------------------------------------------------------



WE GO TOGETHER (John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John & Cast)



We go together, like rama, lama, lama, kadingy, kading-a-dong

Remember forever, as shoowop, shoowally, wally, yippity, boom-de-boom

Chang-chang, changadee-chang-chibop, that's the way it should be, wahoo, yeah
